Councillor expresses concerns about city’s new GE foods policy

Driver ‘lucky’ after logging truck accident

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

City councillor Martin Barker is decrying a recent decision by his colleagues to severely limit the city’s use of genetically engineered plants and food. Under the policy, passed by council last month on the recommendation of the Environment Committee, staff are not to purchase genetically engineered plants, trees or seeds for use in the city, and are to refrain from purchasing genetically engineered foods wherever possible. Caterers and food suppliers will be asked to fill out forms detailing their use of genetically engineered products. “I’m disappointed in the City of Duncan for choosing to promote the banning of GE foods,” Barker said. “It puts more pressure on staff when they are choosing products. And activist groups will hold up the Duncan situation as part of their argument against GE foods.” Barker was the lone councillor to vote against the policy. He advocates the development of GE foods, and pointed out that “no one [on council] is an expert on the issue.” Barker noted that he is likely the only member of council to have actually created a recombinant organism, which he did during a third-year microbiology class, and while that doesn’t make him an expert, he does feel he has an “educated insight” into genetically engineered foods. “Groups such as Health Canada and the World Health Organization, who do have highly trained professionals and have people’s best interests at heart do not ban GE foods,” he said. According to a brief from the Environment Committee to city council explaining

Martin Barker is concerned that the new policy will put too much pressure on staff and allow activists to use the city as an example. [KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] the policy, it is based on the “precautionary principle,” which states that “when an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically.” Mayor Phil Kent said that the policy has been in the works for a while.

“It has been discussed at the Environment Committee for some time, creating a policy to avoid use of GE foods for the city,” he said. Kent noted that the city has looked extensively into information about the issue. “There’s a lot of information out there,” he said. “We’ve heard presentations from both sides of the case.”

A logging truck driver is fortunate to be alive after he was pulled from the wreck of his vehicle west of Shawnigan Lake and airlifted to hospital on Tuesday afternoon. Hauling a loaded trailer, the truck left a logging road and careened down a hill, ending up in a creek. Bystanders were able to remove the driver from the wreck before emergency personnel reached the scene. “Boy, was that guy lucky,” Shawnigan Lake fire chief Keith Shields said. “It was unbelievable, the damage.” The incident happened around 2:30 p.m., about seven kilometres west of Shawnigan Lake off Renfrew Road. According to Sgt. Scott Stephen of the Shawnigan Lake RCMP, the likely cause was a mechanical failure. “A logging truck and loaded trailer were travelling east on the road down Kapoor Hill when an apparent loss of brakes resulted in the driver and lone occupant of the truck going off the road to the left,” Sgt. Scott Stephen related. “The vehicle crashed violently through dense forest before coming to a rest upside down in a small creek.” The 51-year-old driver was examined at the scene, then transported several kilometres before being airlifted to Victoria for further medical attention. Despite suffering several injuries, he was conscious and responsive, Stephen said. Shields learned more about the injuries on Wednesday morning. See ENVIRONMENTAL, Page 3

Man injured in mill mishap LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

Motorists were startled around noon on Thursday to see a number of emergency vehicles gathered and a helicopter lifting off from the Chemainus industrial park beside the Trans-Canada Highway. Cpl. Jon Stuart and other members of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP detachment were on the scene quickly, along with paramedics and members of the Chemainus Fire Department. “We had a call of an industrial accident at Centurion Lumber

on Henry Road in Chemainus,” Stuart said. “Somebody had an accident in the planer mill so we of course dispatched all our resources. One male in his mid to late fifties has been airlifted to hospital with undetermined injuries at this time.” Only one person was involved in the incident. The helicopter, which was dispatched from Vancouver, arrived very quickly and the injured man was airlifted out by about 12:20 p.m., according to the police at the site.

Cougar spotted in Lake Cowichan LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

A cougar has been sighted near the park where a huge crowd of Cowichan Lake residents will gather for the annual Lake Days celebration this weekend. Reports were circulating on Facebook Tuesday night and by Wednesday morning, Lake Cowichan RCMP announced, “On June 3, at approximately 8:30 p.m., the Lake Cowichan detachment received a report of a cougar sighting within the Lake Cowichan townsite area. “A lady walking her dog came upon what she believed was a young cougar on the Ted Burns Nature Preserve Trail between Saywell Park by the Kaatza Museum and Point Ideal Road. Lake Cowichan RCMP members walked through the area but did not locate the animal,” Const. Bruce Coles said Wednesday. There have been other sightings of cougars in populated areas on southern Vancouver Island this week so everyone is on the alert. “Lake Cowichan RCMP members walked through the area but did not locate the animal. The BC Conservation Service was notified and will be checking the location further,” he said. Saywell Park is the centre of three big days of activities this weekend, including stage shows on Friday, the Lady of the Lake crowning, logger

sports and the Town of Lake Cowichan steak dinner Saturday and the Build, Bail and Sale race, the Baby of the Lake contest and the road hockey finals Sunday, so residents and visitors of all ages will be in the vicinity. “The Lake Cowichan RCMP wish to caution the public about using this trail or other trails in the area and to be on the look out for both bears and cougars,” Coles continued. Mounties are requesting that any further bear or cougar sightings be reported to the BC Conservation Service at 250-746-1236 or the Lake Cowichan Detachment at 250-749-6668.

DUNCAN AREA ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN OPEN HOUSE Emergency personnel attend to a logging truck that crashed down a hill into a creek west of Shawnigan Lake on Tuesday. [CHEK NEWS PHOTO]

Environmental worries addressed DRIVER, from page 1 “According to a couple of guys that I talked to, all he had was a couple of broken ribs, facial lacerations, and a couple of vertebrae,” he said. “Someone was definitely on his side.” Along with RCMP and BC Ambulance, Shields and a fellow firefighter responded to the incident, even though the location was outside of the Shawnigan Lake fire jurisdiction.

“All we did was assist BC Ambulance,” he related. “Someone else had him pulled out and on the other side of the creek.” Diesel and motor oil from the truck spilled into the creek, but measures were taken to address the spillage shortly after the crash and the Ministry of the Environment had been dispatched with to clean up the mess. “They said they showed up yesterday afternoon and finished it off,” Shields said.

The City of Duncan, in partnership with the Municipality of North Cowichan and Cowichan Tribes are holding a public Open House to present the Duncan Area Active Transportation Plan. The plan presents options to promote walking, cycling and other forms of active transportation in the urban area of Duncan. The Open House will provide an opportunity for residents to review the plan and provide feedback, prior to the plan being presented to the partner Councils for adoption.

ANNUAL WATER MAIN FLUSHING The City of Duncan Public Works Department will be undertaking annual water main flushing in the Duncan water system beginning the week of June 9, 2014, for a period of approximately two weeks, to ensure we continue to supply safe drinking water.

Open House Information: When: Thursday, June 12, 2014 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Friday, June 13, 2014 10:00 am to 1:00 pm Where: Cowichan Aquatic Centre 263 James Street, Duncan To view the plan, please visit: www.duncan.ca , “City Initiatives” page.

At times this work will be done during the early morning hours to minimize any inconvenience; nevertheless, users may notice low water pressure and some discolouration. Should discolouration occur, simply allowing a cold water tap to run for a short period will help restore water quality to normal. Commercial establishments, such as Laundromats, Restaurants and Beauty Salons, will receive advance warning of flushing in their area. Any residents dependent on medical equipment using water please call the Public Works Department at 250-746-5321 for flushing dates. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Notice of Annual General Meeting Canadian Mental Health Association Cowichan Valley Branch will be holding its 22nd Annual General Meeting 12 noon, Wednesday, June 25 at Warmland House, 2579 Lewis St. Duncan Everyone is welcome. Guest speaker, Phil Dwyer, recently appointed Member of the Order of Canada for his contribution to jazz as a performer, composer and producer, will be speaking about his personal experience with addictions and mental illness.

Most of the workers at Sunridge Place who received layoff notices earlier this year as the seniors care facility moved towards new ownership have been hired back by the company contracted to supply employees. According to Dean Malone, director of operations at CareCorp Senior Services, his group is the official provider of care and support services at Sunridge Place, effective Monday, June 2. “Everyone who worked here has been invited to apply and the majority of those people have chosen to remain at Sunridge.” There had been uncertainty among 264 staff members since they received notice Feb. 17 that the facility on Bundock Street in Duncan had been sold to Park Place Seniors Living. The notice included 124 casual employees and about 140 regular full-time and part-time employees, according to the Hospital Employees Union, who represented them. Malone said that it had always been the plan to hire back as many of the employees who wished to return. “It would never be the intention to not invite those who work currently here to work,” Malone said. “We have 177 employees here and as you can imagine we would not be able to find that many if we went externally or to be interested in doing that, as the best people to work here are those who have worked here previously.” Arguments have raged ever since Cowi-

chan Lodge was initially under threat of closure that seniors in facilities needed continuity of care to maintain good mental and physical health. “There are relationships, established care routines: all of those important things,” Malone said. Under CareCorp’s service delivery contract, they licensed practical nurses, care aides, and support services like housekeeping, laundry, assisted living workers, food service — pretty much everybody except registered nurses, according to Malone. Meanwhile the contract with Sunridge that saw such workers represented by the HEU came to an end with the change of ownership Monday. According to HEU communications officer Mike Old, Monday was tough for workers. “They will be wondering about the

future. I don’t really have solid information on whether CareCorp has hired many of the former employees or not. I don’t know what the wage rates will be with the sub-contractor. I’m pretty sure they will be lower. That’s the whole idea behind this kind of thing. I think we’re in for a period of instability for workers at the facility and that does have an impact on the degree of care,” Old said. Monday was a watershed for the employees, he added. “Our members have got a lot on their minds today: about what they’re going to be doing tomorrow if they’re not working at Sunridge, how to put together a decent living for their families. Of course they will also be concerned about the continuity of care for the seniors at Sunridge but they will be wondering about the future.”

LEXI BAINAS CITIZEN

The long saga surrounding the subdivision of municipal land in Echo Heights drew to a close Wednesday as the Municipality of North Cowichan moved forward on three fronts. Council adopted a bylaw to dedicate 91 per cent of a the site near Chemainus — 19.65 hectares — as parkland. Then, they rescinded and abandoned a previous attempt at a bylaw, and directed staff to designate the Echo Heights Park as “a public conservation zone” in the municipality’s proposed new general zoning bylaw. Finally, councillors authorized staff to apply to subdivide the remaining nine per cent not dedicated as park into about 17 lots with R2 zoning designation, as discussed a few weeks ago. That area was logged two decades ago, and the sale of the single-family residential lots and will help fund community amenity projects. Mayor Jon Lefebure had been the point man for these proposals, suggesting them to his colleagues last month as hopefully the last in a series of ideas for the contentious piece of land. By May 21, a majority of council decided

it was a good day to get a widely-accepted solution on track and on Wednesday they reached the adoption stage. “The park is created,” Lefebure declared. The only councillor continuing to speak against this solution was John Koury, who repeated that he couldn’t see any new information that would drive the municipality to this decision. He held that saving 20 per cent of the land for subdivision, instead of Lefebure’s suggested nine per cent, would earn the municipality more money. The difference between the two ideas was not large, he said, adding, “it’s a handful of trees, but not that many.” Koury was supported during the public input section of the meeting by Don Graham, who said he’d heard from fellow Chemainus residents that were not pleased with the reduction in revenue that would follow the enlargement of the park. Graham also said he was unhappy to see former opponents to the 91-9 split finally knuckle under to the concept of council solidarity, adding it could lead to North Cowichan dipping into taxpayers’ pockets to develop the park. “Do not now [do that] to develop a backyard park for a group of affluent activists,” he warned.

Police suspect thieves are now trying to sell 12 propane tanks they stole from the Island Savings Centre at about 3 a.m. Monday, May 12, and would like the public’s help in catching the culprits. “This type of crime costs the citizens, who utilize the rink, in more ways than one,” said Cpl. Krista Hobday of the North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP in a news release. “Money for the loss of the tanks has to come from somewhere. Hopefully the police will hear from someone that has information regarding this theft.” The thieves broke into a locked cage and took the 33 pound tanks worth $4,800. They were using an imported mini van, possibly and older grey or blue Honda Odyssey. The tanks are owned by Superior Propane and leased by the community centre to fuel the Zamboni. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP ask that if you have information about this or any other crime call the detachment at 250-748-5522 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

North Cowichan’s efforts to produce a Climate Action and Energy Plan were rewarded recently with an Award of Excellence from the Planning Institute of BC. On May 14, as the PIBC was holding its annual general meeting in Vancouver, it handed out it awards, with the Municipality of North Cowichan’s plan carrying off a silver award of excellence in policy planning – small town and rural areas. “We are very pleased that this plan is receiving such positive reviews,” North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure said. “Council will continue to work with our climate change advisory committee, staff and community members to implement the CAEP and reduce both our corporate and community greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.” The CAEP was adopted by North Cowichan council on Feb. 20, 2013 and by May 1 that year, councillors adopted the Climate Action and Energy Reserve Fund with a 1.5 per cent property tax increase. The fund is intended to support projects that reduce the municipality’s energy use or greenhouse gas emissions. This is the second award that the CAEP has won. The first award was received from the Community Energy Association on Sept. 18, 2013.

OUR VIEW

Echo Heights a case of listening to the people e’re almost afraid to jinx it before the final approval goes through. But the imminent settling of the Echo Heights development controversy once and for all deserves some comment. The fight over Echo Heights has been going on for eight years. In a nutshell, it all began when the Municipality of North Cowichan decided to develop 40 acres of land they owned in Chemainus to bring in some cash. This property was not pristine wilderness. It had been acquired by North Cowichan as a clear cut, but over the years nature did

what nature does and a forest had grown back. We admit, at first we thought the fight to save this piece from development was yet another NIMBY exercise by some property owners who, now that their houses were built, didn’t want to be disturbed by more building. But just because you get used to walking your dog on a vacant lot doesn’t mean that the owner of said lot doesn’t have every right to come along and build. However, it became clear when the Chemainus Residents Association formed that there was more to it than that.

ABOUT US

OTHER VIEWS

As the years dragged on, the enthusiasm for the cause could well have waned. Time tends to erode passion in these things. But it didn’t in this case. We have always been able to see the point and sympathize to a degree with the desire to develop this piece of property. There would most likely have been no outcry if building had begun when the municipality first got the land and there was little there but scrub and stumps. Development would likely have been viewed as an improvement. The municipality is under a lot of pressure from residents to

keep taxes down. This requires bringing in revenue. Development can be part of the equation. But the intervening years that turned the clear cut into a forest cannot be ignored, nor can the numbers in opposition. After all, the opposition is an expression of the will of the community of Chemainus. In the end, the government must listen to what its constituents are telling them — and continue to tell them for eight years. So 91-9 it is. We just hope council has learned and next time it won’t take eight years for such a divide to be bridged.

Generosity grows, but fire departments need more volunteers I would like to inform you that the people of Sahtlam were very generous in donating to Sahtlam Volunteer Fire Rescue’s fourth spring drive for the food bank. Food and monetary donations have increased steadily each year as residents become aware of the need within our larger community of support for the food bank.

As you are aware, cash donations to the food bank allow them more purchasing power with wholesalers. I think that the community as a whole should be made aware of the efforts of Sahtlam Volunteer Fire Rescue and our Sahtlam community. During this spring drive, Sahtlam area residents donated 968 lbs of groceries and $453.35 in cash. Volunteering and organizing local functions within our local community is an important part of what we do.

Getting out into the community allows us to be visible and communicate with residents not only about the spirit of volunteerism but of the need for people to step up and be involved. Unfortunately, fire departments within the Valley are at a historically low level in applications as residents are tied into an ever increasingly busy life style. Mike Lees Deputy Fire Chief Sahtlam Volunteer Fire Rescue

I know this isn’t going to sit well with some of my acquaintances, but I can no longer be silent. From 50 per cent to 20 per cent and down to nine per cent, to me, equals democracy in action! In council, that’s from 20 per cent to 50 per cent and to 90 per cent agreement on a decision. True democracy, right? For the majority of North Cowichan council to finally realize and understand that about 80 per cent of the input on Echo Heights’ preservation was a democratic and majority decision and accept it as such, is commendable and not deplorable. Council is there to represent and listen, not dictate against all opposition, as one particular council member does. To know when to give in yourself, in favour of the majority, who put you in there in the first place, is a virtue and not a shame. If things don’t work out, at least the blame can’t be laid on you. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “politic” like this; 1: political, 2: characterized by shrewdness in managing, contriving, or dealing, 3: sagacious in promoting a policy, 4: shrewdly tactful. This provokes the question: Are we managing, contriving and dealing for personal gain and reputation or for the “majority” who wants something else? Another question is this: Do we want to be another Vancouver or a quaint little Chemainus, where everybody wants to live and get away from it all? If the town remains small and quaint and more people desire to live here, what does that do to property values? Depreciate? I doubt it. I know, everything has a price. For those who want more “civilization”, I say, move to a bigger place. More wants more! I’m happy with what we’ve got. While I’m at it, next time we vote, don’t let it be for a dictator. Hats off to the not-so-stubborn council members. Much appreciated. Rolf Leben Chemainus

Who’s making B.C. transportation policy?

alterations they want to this vital part of the provincial transportation network, without regard for the economic or social consequences. His government can only request a budget reduction, and then leave BC Ferries with free reign to do whatever they wish. This is completely at odds with the stated intent of the National Transportation Policy. Establishing a reliable transportation network ensuring the vitality of the provincial socio-economic fabric is a job for government, not private enterprise. We’re now in a position where unelected BC Ferries managers are controlling the transportation policy of British Columbia. Minister Stone continues to talk about making tough decisions, but it appears that all the decisions are being made by BC Ferries for the benefit of their own bottom line, not by Minister Stone.

The Government of Canada has long recognized that private companies have little interest in providing service to the country’s rural areas. When it comes to matters of the national transportation network, the Canada Transportation Act states that “strategic public intervention” should be used to “advance the well-being of Canadians and enable competitiveness and economic growth in both urban and rural areas”. This is Canada’s official National Transportation Policy. But now it appears that the BC government is simply handing control of this critical area to BC Ferries. Transportation Minister Todd Stone has stated that it’s the responsibility of BC Ferries to determine which routes to cancel or cut. According to the Minister, they are free to make whatever

Not only is this student walkout entirely counterproductive, there’s not enough information for the students to make an educated decision on who to support, why, and how. I’m in Grade 12 at Frances Kelsey Secondary School and I want to remind students of how important our teachers are to us and why they are fighting for the education system. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are cut from our education system every year. The teacher’s strike is not simply for a higher wage, kids. It’s about smaller, more intimate classrooms, more personalized learning systems for those who need it, proper funding for schools and so much more. For the first 18 years of our lives, teachers become some of the most important humans

No more one-track thinking from ICF I would like to endorse Alan MacKinnon’s letter [Citizen, June 4] with regard to the alternatives to the “train train” thinking; he is right that there are multiple options available to the Island Corridor Foundation as to the type of transit that can be successfully run on the existing infrastructure. The “Baltimore System” in the U.S. uses a very adaptable “hybrid” bus system that can be used either on the road and/or on

to us. We learn from them, we mature with them, some help us get out of severely dangerous situations, they teach us patience and discipline, they teach us of repercussions when we make a bad choice and so much more. They stay late after hours, they go so far out of our way to make sure every student is safe and encouraged, with the right learning system and the government only gets in the way of that. These teachers deserve to be honoured with how important they are because without them, we would be less capable of so much. Please reconsider your illinformed idea of supporting our teachers by not letting them teach us in classrooms. The only way of letting your voice be heard and making a difference that’s visible to the government is to go on the school-closure days and picket with them. Sara Gillis Shawnigan Lake their existing rail network, thus increasing the opportunities for a broader transit structure. It is refreshing to read a letter with a wider, more constructive view of the possibilities that are available to the ICF, rather than the negative nay-sayers who seem to miss the fact that we need to look to the future to make this corridor sustainable, active and workable, i.e.: “the gravy after the expense are met!” Peter Elliott Duncan

This government has failed in their obligation to provide a transportation system that is accessible for persons with disabilities. The Canada Transportation Act states that the transportation system should be “accessible without undue obstacle to the mobility of persons, including persons with disabilities”. The Nimpkish is virtually inaccessible to any person with physical disabilities. To put it on a route that takes at least nine hours in good weather goes well beyond poor planning,” said Leonard Ellis, Vice-Chair. It’s the government’s duty to intervene to ensure safe, secure transportation for all its citizens and visitors to the province. They should act before it’s too late.

[KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] and served by members of town council, starting at 6 p.m. No tickets are available at the park, though, so check the town office before Saturday to see if any are left. Finally on Saturday, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. adults can dance the night away at a special event at the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena featuring Cosmic Video Dance Party. Tickets are $15 each and doors open at 8:30 p.m. On Sunday morning, events reconvene at Saywell Park, starting at 10 a.m. with Build, Bail and Sail construction. Meanwhile, families will be gathering near the stage for the popular Baby of the Lake contest that begins at 11 a.m. At noon, the plastic birds go in the river for the annual Kinducky Derby and they’ll float down to the car bridge where the eventual winner is determined. From noon, to 3 p.m. there will be children’s races at Saywell Park and at 1 p.m., the Build, Bail and Sail Races run. Still at Saywell Park, from 1 to 4 p.m. Eddie and the Funk will perform and at 3 p.m., the road hockey finals wind up a sensational weekend of fun at the Lake.

Lake Cowichan celebrated completion of a series of upgrades at Saywell Park recently by unveiling a plaque overlooking the Cowichan River. Mayor Ross Forrest told the crowd the Town of Lake Cowichan actually purchased the water lot where a new swimming wharf is located. “As far as I know, we’re probably the only really legal wharf on the Cowichan River or Cowichan Lake as we own the foreshore,” he said. “It was important that we do it correctly here and set an example. We’ve tried to do that every step of the way. “Our initial goal was to put a beach here because people wanted a place to swim in town but obviously with the habitat we have here it wouldn’t fit. This was the next best thing and, to tell you the truth, I think this is better in the long run for the community.” But the project didn’t just arise from a Town of Lake Cowichan initiative. “Council is extremely proud of the new amenities at the park here but we’re even

Cowichan Lake Days is “keeping it country” again this year as the week-long festival continues until Sunday. On Friday night, everyone lucky enough to have tickets will be dressing up for the Lady of the Lake Grand Ball. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at Centennial Hall. However, if you didn’t get a ticket, there is still entertainment on tap at the Saywell Park stage in town. From 6 to 7:30 p.m., you can listen to local performers and then, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., it’s time for Terry Brennan. Saturday is the central day of the entire festival and it all kicks off with Breakfast on the Town, from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the municipal hall. Everyone goes to meet friends for a bite before deciding where to sit for the grand parade, which begins at 11 a.m. South Shore Road will be closed during the parade from Neva Road by OK Tire through to Wellington Road by Saywell Park, so be ready for that if you arrive late in town. Once the parade passes by, the fun moves to Saywell Park. There are logger sports exhibitions from 12:30 to 2 p.m. but everything, including the power saws, stops completely at 2 p.m. as the crowd surges towards the Saywell Park stage for the annual crowning of the Lady of the Lake. If you’ve never been to Lake Days before, this is a sight to remember, and if you’re a regular, you know that everyone is sure to be there, eager to see if his or her favourite candidate is chosen as the next Lady of the Lake. After that, the lively band Mazimba Marimba will entertain as the logger sports exhibition continues and then from 4 to 7 p.m., Jan Matthews in Overdrive takes over the Saywell Park stage as organizers get ready of the Town of Lake Cowichan steak dinner, which is hosted

prouder of the people who have stepped forward to help out,” he said. “A lot of this stuff started from Catalyst [who own the weir on the Cowichan River]. When they had a drowning there they closed off the beach over there but they were willing to contribute with something to get us started over here.” He thanked all the groups involved in helping out, from the federal and provincial governments to the Cowichan River Steward Society, TimberWest/Couverdon, the LCSS grad class of 2013, the Youbou Lands group and many others. “I also want to acknowledge the lead played by the Ministry of Social Services and Housing through its job creation program. Without that down here and the employees who were hired through it, a lot of work, including the box car, the washrooms, the wharf, all this stuff. But, as happy as we are with the result, it is the community that has really made this happen,” Forrest said. “This will be a legacy that will help educate people and show them how to do things right.”

Wendy Lambert was exultant. The coordinator of the Chemainus Crofton Community Schools Association had been desperately worried, after the Cowichan Valley School District had cut the budget for her association by $28,000, that the entire program might be in jeopardy. A hurriedly called meeting, however, rallied the community, and district officials reacted quickly by stepping forward to meet with community schools representatives. “Good news!” Lambert emailed to her school community May 29. “This afternoon Heidi Elley and I, both from the CCSA, met with [schools superintendent] Joe Rhodes [secretary-treasurer] Robert Harper, [assistant superintendent] Lorna Newman and [assistant secretary-treasurer] Jason Sandquist, to discuss the 50 per cent cut to the CCSA in the [Cowichan Valley School District] budget for the immediate upcoming fiscal year. Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Harper both let us know that our full budget would be reinstated for this coming fiscal year.” She thanked the community “who expressed such understanding and appreciation of the Community School programs and shared your concerns with others. Your prompt response was extremely helpful.” Lambert also thanked the district for its second look. “Administrators and community members have shown the strength of working together for our children and families. The numerous CCSA programs will continue for another year and I am sincerely grateful on behalf of our board, all our participants and our communities,” she said. The CCSA has its district funding reinstated until June 30, 2015. “The administrators also expressed a

willingness to have further conversations to discuss sustaining the budget. We have come a long way in a short time, and I hope we can achieve even more,” Lambert said. Harper explained that the decision to reinstate the funds for a year is all about finding a permanent solution for the situation for the two North End areas. “We’ve made a decision that we’ll put that money back into the community schools association for this year and then work with them during this year so we can help them build a sustainable organization,” he said. The school district’s money, which pays staff salaries, kickstarts the efforts at the two schools, making it possible for them to line up all kinds of programs. “Only about a quarter of the money they work with is from the district. I saw their financial statements and it’s just over $200,000 in total budget. Some of that is revenue from programs, some of that is grants from other organizations,” Harper said. After school starts up again, district officials will put their head together with the community schools people, he said. Several kids’ summer camp programs run by the CCSA, including IronKidz, The Amazing Race and Movie Mania are already set to go.

‘No crank,’ Cdr. Guy Windeyer was only an organic gardener ‘because it pays’ OLD ORCHARD, From Page 12 of plants and nourishing them with the goodness it extracts and digests from the earth. He was convinced that plants fed by fungi, rather than by drawing directly from the soil or from artificial fertilizers, had more flavour and greater natural resistance to disease. “But,” he declared, “I’m no crank on the subject—I am an organic gardener because it pays me.” He hadn’t always been ‘green;’ in fact, his conversion came about just three years before his interview. Previously, he’d “consulted modern practices and poured sacks of commercial fertilizer onto the land”. Then he’d realized that, to grow a cabbage, he had to use eight different chemicals to combat dampening off, cabbage maggot, flea beetle and club root. It was somewhat the same story with his potatoes that, despite generous doses of barnyard manure, suffered every disease in the pest control manual but Colorado beetle. He’d tried everything in the book: sprays, immersions, washes and powders, “mostly evil smelling and marked with the skull and crossbones”. He came to regard them as a gardener’s very expensive crutch; one that became drudgery when added to all the other gardening chores, especially during the summer sales season. More than anything else, he said, it went against his ingrained sense of naval efficiency!

For millennia, farmers had grown their crops without these so-called scientific aids; how was it they had been able to nurture their fields to the point of harvest? In his search for alternatives he came upon the pioneering work of Sir Albert Howard (1873-1947) who’s regarded by many as the founder and pioneer of the organic movement. Somewhat warily, Cdr. Windeyer decided to give organic farming a try. He began by throwing his club root cabbage onto the compost pile. When he recycled this soil the following year in his cabbage patch, the result was a bumper crop—and no club root. Other than some problems with little carrot fly and root maggot in his cabbage, “The gardens have been going strong ever since,” wrote an admiring Oldham. This wasn’t Windeyer’s only innovation. To weed his strawberry fields, his main fruit crop, he employed geese. They feasted on weeds but left the strawberry plants. The feathered gardeners were transferred to other duties three weeks before the berries ripened. His second greatest crop was six acres of corn, followed by tomatoes. Another argument for the use of compost, he said, is that it helped protect plants from late frosts by warming them. At the time of Oldham’s tour he was experimenting with Russian Comfrey, valued for its use as cattle and chicken feed and as bulk for compost, and he fed his chickens with millet. It was cheaper than grain and yet another source of nutrition for the soil.

Discipline key as Thunder win two more KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Due in large part to their disciplined play, the Cowichan Valley Thunder overcame a slow start against the Westshore Bears last Saturday to emerge victorious by an 11-6 final score. Cowichan trailed 3-1 after the first period, but rallied to pull ahead 6-5 after a penalty-filled middle frame, which included a brawl that saw several players ejected. A Westshore player attempted to start a fight with Cowichan’s Jamie Jensen, who refused the invitation. Not taking no for an answer, the Westshore player ripped off Jensen’s helmet and began throwing punches. Although Jensen’s arms remained at his side, the officials didn’t break up the incident until several other players became involved. “The third period settled down and Cowichan started to dominate the game, taking advantage of Westshore’s undisciplined penalties,” coach Lorne Winship said. Ryan Taylor paced the Cowichan attack with two goals and seven assists, while Graham Winship had three goals and three help-

added one goal and two assists, Jensen scored once, and goalie Nathan Clark had two assists. Brothers Kelvin and Trevor Philp recorded one helper apiece.

Graham Winship exploded for eight goals, including six in the second period alone, as well as a pair of assists, as the Thunder beat the Saanich Tigers 19-13 at

home on Monday evening. Again Cowichan trailed after the first period, falling behind 4-3, but the score was tied 11-11 after two, and the Thunder dominated the third. “Our defence was rather soft early in the game, as well as our offence wasn’t working hard to get to the bench, allowing Saanich multiple fast breaks and breakaways,” Lorne Winship said. Jensen added five goals, intermediate call-up Tyson Black had a goal and six assists, Golia had five helpers, Weberg scored three times and added one assist, Chance Koughan had a goal and an assist, Brennan Stothers scored once, and Colin Winship had two helpers. Brandon Clark, Luke Anderson, Luke Frost, Brandon Corby, Kaine Dreaver and goaile Nathan Clark had single assists. After a road date in Westshore on Thursday, the Thunder return home next Monday to host the Bears at The Stick at 8 p.m. The intermediate Thunder were scheduled to play in Campbell River on Sunday but earned a win when the Ravens forfeited. They host Juan de Fuca this Friday at 7:45 p.m.

Jr. A lacrosse takes over The Stick on Saturday

Sky’s the limit for Valley track and ﬁeld POTENTIAL RISING:

Cow High claims eight medals, Heisterman wins historic gold for Queen Margaret’s

KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

Cowichan Secondary School’s remarkable success at the provincial high school track and field championships in Langley last weekend, and in the Island championships before that, has coach Steve Ridenour thinking big. “I think we can possibly knock off Oak Bay,” he said, targeting the school that has reigned atop Island high school track and field for the last quarter-century. “It’s a lofty goal, but I think it’s realistic. Oak Bay wins because of numbers, not because of the talent they have, and right now, the Valley has the best sprinters on the Island.” Cowichan certainly looks like a team to beat, especially with a girls team that appears to have years of success to come. “The best part about the girls’ side is that we have no Grade 12s,” Ridenour said. “They’re all Grade 9, 10 and 11 girls. We’re going to be strong next year.” Cowichan finished with eight medals at the provincial meet, including four golds. Nicole Lindsay won gold in the junior girls 200m and silver in the 400m, and brother Liam claimed bronze in the senior boys long jump and 200m. Ben Williams captured gold in the junior boys triple jump, and Chicago Bains did the same in the senior girls 100m hurdles, while Taryn Smiley took bronze in the senior girls 100m. Nicole Lindsay, Bains, Smiley and Casey Heyd also teamed up to win gold in the senior girls 4x100m relay, and they have the potential to hit loftier heights. “I think they want to break the Island record, which Frances Kelsey has, and then break the provincial record,” Ridenour said.

Atheles from Frances Kelsey and Cowichan secondary schools gather during the provincial track and field championships last weekend. [SUBMITTED] Cow High’s junior girls relay team should have been in the finals as well, but dropped the baton in the heats. “They had the best time going in, and I think they would have won as well,” Ridenour said. Cowichan took just two male athletes to the meet — Williams and Liam Lindsay — but they both medalled, and the school might have collected more medals under different circumstances. “Our senior boys relay team had to forfeit because of illness,” Ridenour noted. They would have made the finals at least.” Ridenour gives credit for the athletes’s success to their coaches outside of school, especially in the sprints. “It’s not due to us, it’s due to John May,” he said. “He’s doing a fantastic job with them and it’s starting to show with the depth we have with our sprinters.” Other results for the school included Liam Lindsay’s fourth place in the senior boys 400m, Williams’s fourth in the junior boys high jump, Smiley’s fifth in the

senior girls 200m, Heyd’s ninth in the junior girls 100m and 18th in the 200m, and Denise Roy’s eighth in the junior girls 100m and ninth in the 200m. Cow High wasn’t the only school to bring home gold from the provincial meet. Distance runner Madison Heisterman brought home Queen Margaret’s School’s first-ever gold, winning the junior girls 1500m, and added a silver in the 800m, while teammate Abby Wadsworth finished 10th in the senior girls high jump. “I’m very happy with how I ran in that race,” Heisterman said. “It’s exhausting to run that number of events in so short of a time. My legs are a little tired, but I’m so happy and grateful to my parents and family for their support.” Sion Griffiths of Frances Kelsey also won gold in the Grade 8 boys javelin, along with a fourth in shot put, seventh in triple jump and 11th in high jump. Teammate Desirae Ridenour earned a bronze medal in the junior girls 3000m and placed eighth in the 3000m. Also from Kelsey, Tia Baker

Madison Heisterman displays her two medals, including QMS’s firstever gold. [SUBMITTED[ placed fifth in the senior girls 400m, seventh in the 200m and 11th in the 100m; Jace Hilton was ninth in the Grade 8 boys 100m; Tyler Leech was 10th in the Grade 8 boys javelin; and Katie Farley was seventh in the Grade 8 girls 3000m Duncan Christian School’s lone representative at provincials, Mikayla Cook, finished 21st in the senior girls long jump.

Cowichan Valley sports fans will get the chance to see some top-level junior lacrosse here at home this weekend. The Nanaimo Timbermen and Langley Thunder will square off at the Island Savings Centre at 4 p.m. on Saturday in a regularseason BC Junior A Lacrosse League tilt. “It’s a great opportunity for us to showcase Junior A lacrosse in the Cowichan Valley and build stronger ties with the Cowichan minor, intermediate and junior B programs,” Timbermen general manager Jon Nicholson said. The Nanaimo roster includes a pair of Cowichan Valley products in Jeremy Roe and D.J. Saari. “I am extremely excited to play in front of my true home crowd again for the first time in four years,” Roe said. “It will be great to be back in the arena where I fell in love with lacrosse, and I’m hoping we can get a big crowd out for what will be a fantastic game.” The T-Men have also drafted five Cowichan minor lacrosse players over the last two years, with three of them — Adam Golia, Tyson Black and Luke Frost — seeing action with the club this season. Nanaimo and Langley sit sixth and seventh in the BCJALL standings, and will both be looking for a valuable victory on Saturday. “We are in the thick of a playoff race, and junior A lacrosse is some of the fastest, most intense lacrosse you will see,” Nicholson said. “Many of these players will be future WLA and NLL players.” Tickets will be available at the door. All Cowichan Valley Lacrosse Association players wearing their jerseys will be admitted free. A pre-game barbecue begins at 3 p.m.

The RiverCats definitely came to play on Sunday, kicking off with 19 hits in a 20-7 win over Langford Blue. St. Amand, Lang and Thorne all went 4-for-4, with doubles for St. Amand and Lang. Sierra Screaton was 3-for-3 with a double, while Rosenlind and Wildy split pitching duties. That propelled Duncan to the semifinals where they beat Sooke in extra innings thanks to a two-run double by Rylee Smith and shutdown pitching by Wildy. The RiverCats played Langford Yellow in the tournament final and scored early and often to win 15-5.

[KEVIN ROTHBAUER/CITIZEN] and a two-point convert by Heidi Padjen, a touchdown by Mila Main, four sacks by Kirbee Crisp, and an interception by Sam Miiller. In their loss on Sunday, the Sirens got two touchdowns from Mearns, and one each from McKay and Jessica Kato-Koch. McKay and Brown also had converts, and DesRochers added a sack. Alita Mattin had two touchdowns and a pick for the Crew, Nicole Pugh had a touchdown and two sacks, and Darbi Aitchison and Jessica Lines-Wikkerink also scored. Marilou Sullivan added two converts and Jade Scott had one. Rounding out the week, BSB beat the Wild 27-6. Main had a touchdown and a convert, and Padjen, Brittany Stinson and Courtenay Wilcox also scored, while Kara Espeseth had a convert, Kirbee Crisp had a sack and Michelle Nederlof kicked in the last point. Dieneke Pedersen had the Wild’s touchdown, while Keri McKelvie had a pick and Ginger Bilina had five sacks.

The resurrection of senior men’s fastball in Duncan continued on Tuesday as the Gord Closson Forest Products Fastball Club edged Wheatsheaf 2-1 in its home opener, improving to 4-0 on the season. After mercying their opponents in the first two games, the Duncan club has just eked out wins in its last two, both victories coming in the seventh inning. After giving up a home run in the first inning on Tuesday, Duncan tied the score in the fifth. Dave Devana hit a double, then advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt, and scored as Marty Steen was put out at first. With the score still tied at one apiece in the bottom of the seventh, Steen singled, then Bob Court and Brad Robinson both walked to load the bases. Wheatsheaf was trying to throw something at Rick Smith that he couldn’t hit, which isn’t easy, and Steen scored the winning run on a passed ball. Kor rey Gareau, who has pitched all four games for the Duncan team, earned the victory. The squad is hosting a tournament at the Glenora ball fields this weekend, with their own games scheduled for 12, 4 and 6 p.m. on Sunday. Playoff games will go at 12, 2 and 4 p.m. on Sunday. The team also has three more home games this month, on June 10, 17 and 24, all at 7 p.m. They are also gearing up to host the Gord Closson Fall Classic at the Glenora fields in late August.

For a team with eight brand new players, the U12 Duncan RiverCats showed just how far they’ve come this year by winning gold medals in back-to-back softball tournaments last month. “The girls are really gelling together,” head coach Kevin Olender said. “You would never think this was a new team, the way they come to practice; they come to the park ready to learn and have fun.” The RiverCats went undefeated at the Cordova Bay Tournament in early May. They blazed through the round robin, beating Parksville 13-5, Langford 15-14 and Saanich 14-4 to earn a bye to the semifinals. Mya Rosenlind pitched brilliantly to earn the win as the RiverCats downed Central Saanich 13-5 in the semis. Katie Murphy followed that with a nine-strikeout performance in a 14-5 win in the final. “The girls played great all weekend,” Olender said. Things didn’t go quite as smoothly at the Sooke Tournament on May 24 and 25, but the RiverCats still emerged with the gold. The Duncan team split its two Saturday morning games, beating Sooke 12-9 on nine hits, including triples by Marissa St. Amand and Brooklyn Lang, and doubles by Rosenlind, Kevannah Thorne

Bulldogs kick into new gear against Lions KEVIN ROTHBAUER CITIZEN

The atom Cowichan Bulldogs played their best football so far this season as they played host to the Nanaimo Lions at McAdam Park last Saturday. “The game was more evenly matched then [most] of late,” proud coach Devon Lawrence said after his team’s 38-6 defeat. A successful kick return by Jack NapierGanley gave the Bulldogs first possession, and the players quickly made it known that they would not go down without a fight. “The Bulldogs have been practicing all week on blocking, which has been a key element in our game and the hard work showed,” Lawrence said. A huge block by offensive lineman Ethan Giles broke running back Trevor Eccleston free for a 20-yard run up the middle, and running back Koda Lang created space for receiver Cole Russell, who used his own moves and speed to score the first touchdown of his football career and get the Bulldogs on the board first. On defence, the Bulldogs got some very effective tackling. Linebacker Luke Larminay was busy in the middle and was the first man in on multiple tackles. “The team worked well together, ensuring that once contact was made that help was given in the takedown,” Lawrence said. Another linebacker, Cyrus Upshaw, used the element of surprise as he blitzed the Nanaimo offence to make tackles before the ball-carrier made it to the line of scrimmage. The pre-atom Bulldogs built on the momentum from a close loss to the league-

Quarterback Jaxon Jones and running backs Spencer Young, Thoran Koyote and Treighton McCuaig-Jones scored touchdowns, and backup QB Nico Harris capped it off with his first major, as well as con-

necting with tight end Jayden Du Temple for a two-point convert. Koyote, Harris and McCuaig-Jones were also standouts on defence, alongside Jayden Strzok, Ethan Bell, Sawyer Ellison, Dillan Sterling and Jacob Billini. “We were short a lot of key players, but our offensive arsenal was unstoppable,” coach Harris said.

With the win, the Bulldogs slipped ahead of Nanaimo in the pre-atom standings, and are building up for a run at the Silver Cup. Due to injuries and illnesses, the pee wee Bulldogs went into their game against the Peninsula Wildcats down to just 14 players, but were fortunate in that the Wildcats play nine-man football instead of the standard 12-man game. The Bulldogs ended up on the wrong side of the score in the end, but refused to give up. “On a hard day, the Bulldogs once again never stopped trying to make plays,” head coach Brian Scott said. Running back Nathaneal Mannion got his team off to a great start, including a 15-yard gain in which he spun and broke out of seven tackles. The versatile Ronan Harley started at fullback for the first time this season, and used his strength to push defenders back for yards after contact while also breaking tackles as middle linebacker on defence. Nicholas Young and Reid Young made hard hits on a second-half goal-line stand, while Tyson Duffe showed his heart, not once getting off the field and making several tackles on long Peninsula plays. Defensive backs Sammy Fry, Lincoln Findlater and Evan Kwasny fought against the bigger Peninsula team throughout the game, and lineman Billy Bickford had a rare kick return, putting his shoulder down to run over a tackler. The pee wee Bulldogs are at home against the Sooke Seahawks this Saturday at 2:15, while the pre-atom and atom teams head to Nanaimo to finish their home-and-home series.
